Hello Les,
Would like to contribute a couple of shots from my Uncle's photo album.
He was part of a RCAF crew that built an airfield during WW2 at Massett (Haida Gwaii) British Columbia
Seen here in early days before the paving crew arrived..apparently during July 1943 ??.
A pilot friend…familiar with the area…said "that's probably Sandspit"
I have two questions…was this part of the American Aerial delivery highway to Alaska…or was it Canadian Coastal Defence.?
And ….can anyone decipher the door markings.
RCAF 5075
VC
With a letter "C" next to the upper hinge.
Sems to be early production Ford cab13…with no roof hatch..Tipper body on a C60…??
As it was with-in shooting distance of Japanese submarines…one head-light is blanked-out.
Fascinating photo..
Dennis
